The Waterproof Fleece Made for Dachshunds

Thousands of dachshunds. One favourite fleece.

The Chocolate DoxieDri Dachshund Harness Fleece is designed exclusively around the long bodies, deep chests and little legs of Dachshunds.

Buttery soft, warm and water resistant on top, with a fully waterproof chest and tummy panel underneath, it helps keep your Dachshund protected from wet grass, muddy walks and unpredictable weather without restricting their movement.

And with reinforced double D rings built straight into the back, DoxieDri doubles as a harness too.

Reinforced double D rings allow you to attach your lead directly to the DoxieDri for everyday walks.

✓ Nothing goes over their head
Simply step in, wrap the adjustable Velcro neck and zip up the back. Ideal for Dachshunds who aren’t fans of pull over jumpers.

Because Dachshunds and mud have a habit of finding each other.

Why Your Dachshund Will Love Their DoxieDri Fleece

Most dog fleeces are designed to fit dozens of different breeds. DoxieDri isn’t.

Every detail has been designed around the unique proportions of a Dachshund, from the longer body and deeper chest to those famously short legs.

The shape around the chest and front legs helps reduce rubbing, while flattened internal seams maximise comfort for sensitive dogs and those prone to chafing.

We’ve also tapered the waist and added an adjustable Velcro neck to create a comfortable, secure fit, even for little escape artists.

If your Dachshund has never enjoyed wearing a jumper before, DoxieDri might just change their mind.

Length Matters

“Where can I find a jumper that actually fits my Dachshund’s long back?”

We hear this time and time again. Standard dog jumpers can leave a Dachshund looking like they’re wearing a crop top!

As Dachshund owners ourselves, we know how difficult it can be to find a Dachshund jumper long enough to properly cover their back. That’s why DoxieDri was designed specifically around their unique proportions, with a longer body fit that gives your sausage the coverage they need without restricting those little legs.

Long back. Proper coverage. No crop tops here.

Rain On Top. Waterproof Underneath.

We spent years researching fabrics before finding the combination we wanted for DoxieDri.

The outer fleece is soft, thick, warm and water resistant, helping rain bead on the surface rather than immediately soaking through.

Underneath, a fully waterproof chest and tummy panel protects the part of your Dachshund closest to wet grass, puddles and mud. It’s carefully shaped for a comfortable fit on both male and female Dachshunds.

The result? Less soggy fleece. Less muddy tummy. One much happier sausage.

No Separate Harness Needed

Every DoxieDri features reinforced double D rings on the back, allowing you to attach your dog’s lead directly to their fleece for everyday walking.

Prefer using a separate harness? You can wear one over the DoxieDri instead.

Safety note: The D rings are reinforced for everyday walking. If your dog pulls forcefully, lunges or is reactive on lead, please attach their lead to a collar or traditional harness for optimal safety and control.

Step In. Zip Up. Adventure.

Getting ready for a walk shouldn’t involve wrestling a Dachshund into a jumper.

Lay the DoxieDri open, place your Dachshund’s front legs through the leg openings, wrap and secure the adjustable Velcro neck, then fasten the lined zip along the back.

Check that the neck and chest fit securely but comfortably, clip the lead onto the reinforced D rings and you’re ready to go.

Muddy Sausage? No Problem.

DoxieDri is designed for real Dachshund walks, which inevitably means mud.

Machine wash at 30°C. Before washing, we recommend fastening the back zip and securing the Velcro neck, then placing your DoxieDri inside a mesh laundry bag or old pillowcase to help protect it during the wash.

DoxieDri can be airdried or radiator dried without affecting its shape or performance, although we recommend air drying where possible to help preserve its water resistant properties for longer.

The Little Details

Contrasting fabrics, complementary colours and embroidered Dachshund silhouettes give DoxieDri its unmistakably sausage shaped style.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I attach my lead directly to the D-rings?

Yes. The reinforced D-rings are designed for everyday walking and allow you to attach your lead directly to the DoxieDri, meaning it can be used instead of a traditional harness. If your dog pulls forcefully, lunges or is reactive on lead, we recommend attaching your lead to a well-fitting harness or collar for additional safety and control.

Is the DoxieDri completely waterproof?

The DoxieDri features a fully waterproof chest and tummy panel, combined with a water-resistant outer fleece that causes rain to bead on the surface rather than soak in. It's ideal for wet walks, helping to keep your dachshund warm, dry and comfortable.

Which dachshunds is the DoxieDri suitable for?

Our DoxieDri has been designed specifically for dachshunds and is available in 11 sizes, including Slim and Wide fits. We cater for tiny puppies, miniature dachshunds, tweenies and standard dachshunds.

How do I choose the correct size?

Simply follow our size guide in the product images and measure your dachshund's back, chest and neck. We have a handy video showing how to measure your dog and a Sizing Calculator Tool which can help identify the best size. If you're unsure, we'd be delighted to help you choose the perfect fit.

Can the DoxieDri be machine washed?

Yes. The DoxieDri can be machine washed at 30°C. It can also be tumble dried or dried on a radiator without affecting its shape or performance, although air drying will help preserve the water-resistant finish for even longer.

Does the DoxieDri go over my dog's head?

No. The DoxieDri features a step-in design with a zip-up back and adjustable Velcro neck, making it quick and easy to put on without pulling it over your dachshund's head. Perfect for quickly getting out of the door or for dachshunds with IVDD who benefit from avoiding garments being pulled over their head.

Why does my Dachshund get so cold?

Dachshunds are low to the ground, so their chest and tummy are particularly exposed to cold, wet conditions. DoxieDri combines a warm fleece outer with a fully waterproof chest and tummy panel to help keep them warm, dry and comfortable.

Should my Dachshund wear a jumper?

Every Dachshund is different, but many appreciate an extra layer in colder weather, particularly puppies, older dogs, Miniatures and short haired Dachshunds. You know your dog best, so let their behaviour and the conditions guide you.

Why does my Dachshund hate getting wet?

Some Dachshunds simply aren’t rain fans, and their low bodies mean wet grass and puddles quickly soak their underside. DoxieDri has a water resistant fleece outer and fully waterproof chest and tummy panel to help keep the soggy sausage situation under control.

Why does my Dachshund hate jumpers going over their head?

Some dogs simply don’t like clothing being pulled over their head and ears. DoxieDri has a step in design, adjustable Velcro neck and zip up back, so nothing needs to go over their head.

What is the best type of jumper for a Dachshund?

Fit is key. Dachshunds have long bodies, deep chests and short legs, so generic dog jumpers don’t always fit properly. DoxieDri is designed specifically for Dachshunds, with 11 sizes and Slim, Average and Wide fits.

Are Dachshund fleece jumpers suitable for rain?

Fleece provides warmth but can become heavy when soaked. That’s why DoxieDri combines water resistant outer fleece with a fully waterproof chest and tummy panel, helping protect against light rain, wet grass, puddles and mud.

How should a Dachshund jumper fit?

It should fit comfortably around the neck and chest, cover their long body and allow their legs to move freely without rubbing. Use our DoxieDri size guide or Dachshund Sizing Calculator to find the best fit.

Can Dachshund puppies wear DoxieDri?

Yes! DoxieDri starts at XXS, with sizes specifically designed for growing Dachshund puppies. Just check the fit regularly as your little sausage grows.
